Their general packaging is very conservative. Coming up with this Absolut 72 Bain Limited Edition certainly adds colour and spice to Chinese New Year, yeah! The artwork is very bright and vibrant. The Monkey King mascot adds life to this. Transform! The name in Chinese refers to the legendary Monkey King’s 72 transformations during the epic journey to the west. This package comes with a limited edition bottle, nine fans Monkey King Face with mixture suggestions for nine flavours and a reverse cocktail glass. Surprisingly, the neck and glass base is held by silicone glue. Upon strong impact, it may detach. This is a bad design for such a beautiful piece. For now, one can only question. Nevertheless, it is a memorable purchase for world’s end. Hopefully you too can transform 72 times after finishing this bottle! Heh!

Dream Woman

Is this the perfect woman?

By Bianca Ffolkes | Yahoo Lifestyle – Fri, Jan 6, 2012 13:11 GMT

An online beauty retailer claims to have created the world’s most beautiful woman.

Feelunique.com asked 9,350 shoppers to vote for which parts of female stars they most admired and desired, and then mocked up a profile of what the perfect woman would look like.

After gathering the results, a computer generated image was created of the perfect women.

The perfect woman. Feelunique.com/Rex.

She has Angelina Jolie’s pillow lips, Megan Fox’s perfectly shaped eyebrows and The Duchess of Cambridge’s long glossy hair.

[See also: The perfect body shape plan]

Cheryl Cole’s chocolate brown eyes, along with Kate Beckinsale’s nose, Keira Knightley’s model cheekbones and Kelly Brook’s chest complete her look.

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow, whose chin was voted the best, is the only blonde to feature.

A spokeswoman for the website said: “We had great fun putting together our Ultimate Woman. She is uncannily beautiful and looks a bit like one of the Kardashian sisters or Sandra Bullock, although Angelina’s pout is unmistakable.”

However, we think the resemblance to Kim Kardashian is surprising since none of her features made the list.

The dream woman and Kim Kardashian look similar? Feelunique.com/PA.

Do you agree with the results? Which celebrity body part would you most want?

 A compilation of beauty features as preferred by the majority. The closest living model is KIM KARDASHIAN. In my opinion, I like her. However, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

Time-lapse video: 30-storey hotel built in just 15 days

By Gaby Leslie | Yahoo! News – Mon, Jan 9, 2012

• Email

A Chinese company has released a time-lapse video of its construction of a 30-storey mega hotel in just 15 days.

Released by the Asian sustainable building firm Broad Group, the video shows the impressive infrastructure being constructed within a 360-hour time frame in the China’s south central Hunan Province.

Using cutting-edge building technology, which uses six times less cement and is believed to be five times more energy efficient than regular construction material, the 17,000-metre-squared earthquake-proof skyscraper was completed at the end of 2011.

The Ark hotel was built using pre-fabricated modules and uses a diagonal steel bracing.

China travel guide

The remarkable building also boasts a filtration system with air 20 times purer inside than outside and can withstand a 9.0-magnitude earthquake, as tested by the China Academy of Building Research.

[Related story: World's tallest bridge unveiled] 

In 2010, the same firm built a 16-storey residential block in only five days.

And it’s not just the hotel that was built in the 15 days, but all the furniture has apparently been moved into the building, so it’s ready for guests.

In some cultures, speed is everything. Safety will ONLY be questioned when disaster strikes. I am NOT a qualified Civil Engineer and neither any experience in this field. You be the judge.

CRALLY - Cocktail @ RALLY

Season's Greetings!

Prolong festivities with X'mas fun & games @ http://uk.lifestyle.yahoo.com/christmas/ Enjoy while it lasts and have a superb New Year 2012 to all my fashionistas and fans alike!

Merry X'mas Fashion Duchess!

This just in! No, this style is not a disappointment. It is proof of the ever famous quote 'less is more'! However, only our Fashion Duchess with her flawless style can pull this off. However, this is NOT for all fashionistas. So, if you have what it takes, enjoy this festivity with minimalism.

A simple but attractive hat by Jane Corbett is a good head start for this joyous occasion.

This plum coat is a new minimalism statement this Christmas. Plum is the new mistletoe this season, all rightJ. If this is suitable, go get it fast, if you know the designer. This style is dateless so it is a worthy investment.

Real Steel - Real-Ity

This is definitely overdue. The last time I searched, I could not download from the official website. Nevertheless, here is my short but hopefully meaningful review. 

Basics vs Hi-tech, so who won? Watch it to find out.

 With the most advance tool, lack of knowledge means defeat!

In this advancing age, sometimes it just takes basics to defeat the enemy. Or is it? This story line just adds more poison to the stubborn tech age dumb majority's denial. 

With real steel comes real work, real results and real victory!

At the end of it, it is still these women who defined fashion. Love the baddie! Yippee!

PORCAYR - Porsche Cayman R inspired

The white blouse embroidery is inspired by its headlamp. Nothing naughty here, yeah? The waistband is inspired by its bumper. 

LILY ALLEN - Force Smile on her wedding :-(

First, foremost and the most disastrous flaw is the absence of the waistline. This makes poor Lily shorter than short. I love her carrying the toy couple puppets accessories. Sooo... uniquely cute ;-)

 Her gown is all over the place. With no definition, nothing can save her.

To top flaws off, these 3D embroidery roses on the front sides of her veil makes her head look bigger. This unique design is applied on the wrong personality.

Lily’s or her designers may have gotten some inspiration from Kate Middleton’s Sarah Burton wedding gown. As I have stressed in my past tips, they have broken the ‘holy grail’ of fashion (http://charlesespckman.blogspot.com/2011/07/fashion-is-u-not-what-is-on.html) What works on others may not on you. This lace design made Lily larger than large.

In conclusion, her wedding gown, which she is apparently all smiles, makes her shorter, larger and bigger headed. The professional who designed this should be exiled from fashion 4ever! Sorry Lily but the truth does hurt!

Sportscar 4 u!

PORSCHE Cayman R

With 0-100km/h in 5 secs, a top speed of 282km/h and 330 horses pulling your carriage, what more could you ask? This top of the range Cayman will get all your boys' attention. Coming from reputedly the most reliable sports car, turbo is not an option! 

If Cayman is understated, then the only option is the legend itself, 911 Carrera S. That however is another chapter... Happy racing!
